Sarah Groen Colyn
Sarah Groen Colyn’s heart was captured for this ministry when she first heard Leanne Payne speak of the need for a true, biblical vision of what it is to be human. Joining with Leanne to carry on her work has convinced Sarah indeed that “our becoming never stops!” She is Director of Ministries of MPC, and is also the founder and director of Sanctuary Psychological Services in Edmonds, Washington. She holds a BA from Calvin College, and an MA in Christian Leadership and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary. She is an active member of North Sound Church, grew up in the Christian Reformed church and has been mentored by Pentecostal, Catholic, and Evangelical Christian leaders.

In 1991 she and Peter attended Leanne’s class at YWAM’s Clinical School of Counseling in Hawaii, going on to attend Leanne’s Pastoral Care Schools at Wheaton.
